JOHN TRUDELL 1- Where Spirits Get Eaten/Drunken Indians

[crarzzegek]

dear Man: u r what we dispossed under- class Indians' ie the dalits in India call - Messiah Supreme!! Like our own Dr Ambedkar!!

[davewoodring]

consume, obey destroy is all i see. total control, read the book universal seduction piercing the veils of deception volume 1.

[jlid1]

When I first discovered John Trudell, I sat and watched and listened, and I knew that I had finally found someone who could convey what I was thinking about life and the planet and the state that we are all in today. Plus he made me aware of so many other things that I had not yet thought about. I am not 'Native American", but I have always said that the Native American people are the only people who really understand how to live on, and be one with this planet, and how to take of her.

[jlid1]

@jlid1 I meant, "To take care of her" regarding the Earth...

[AJCTB]

@jlid1 I fully agree with you. I resonate so much with what he says.

[40artemisia]

John Trudell's word are thought provoking and prophetic...he is a visionary; and seems to have a definite gift...I only wish I could someday listen to him speak in person...

[MaxxiTrillion888]

[HallwaysOfAlways]

Wise words from a good man. Need more like him in the world, now more than ever.

[tianikkah]

so, it's been like a yaer and still no answer..... no one knows the name of hte song/poem at the beginning of this vid? :(

[mothersworldmedia]

@tianikkah "Thicker Than Blood (For Billy Joe)/chiefs Song" from the album "But This Isn't El Salvador". Sorry for the long delay....

"Nothing happens fast around here... everything else takes a really long time..."

[salmonfire]

@tianikkah no buts its Quiltman chanting, you can find him on itunes.

[ayemaya75]

I never saw "Drunken Indians" as the ones who saved the culture and way of being, before. Therefore, I want to honor the "drunken Indians" for their bravery and passive resistance, like Gandhi. Leave it to John to bring that perspective to our awareness.

[nicopetromac]

@ayemaya75

beautiful!!!!!

[runingblackbear]

smoke the tobacco and the hate will go away

[nicopetromac]

I am so blessed to understand this truth and I will teach my children to not follow where their spirits get eaten. They will shine so they may awaken more souls.

It's time for humanity to start taking full responsibility to our mother earth.

[aeunuchsthroat]

Racial/societal prejudices confound the purpose of alcohol; the purpose of all drugs/substances for that matter. "You won't recognize me as a human being, so I'll hide behind 'this', just so you won't kill me."

[tianikkah]

anyone know what is playing before the interview? the john trudell poem.

[foxwilliammulderx]

How can we stop the self medication? I say it this way because on my rez opiate pills are the spirit killer. I have made the comment before that my people look dead. They are litteraly dead. I am not sure if it entirely has to do with drugs, I think drugs (& alcohol) are a byproduct of a bigger picture. But what? We're talking generations of zombieland on my rez. I am starting to hate them, actually have for quite a while now. Please reply, someone with insight, no religous b.s. please.

[foxwilliammulderx]

@davewoodring And the idea that people want an INDIAN pres. Oh god, people are really nothing more than consumers and it shows when they open thoer holes an talk. I can see it now, 1st ndn pres in a cowboy hat and mouth wide open at all times lookin dumb and acting stupid, like all tribal councilmen.

[davewoodring]

@foxwilliammulderx i want a president not a puppet.

[Judy101101]

so drunking indians learned to beat their wives and abuse their children and they did not turn into the white man? pretty sure the pain that natives went through had to be the same pain that the white mean went through other wise how did they turn into the abusive people that they turned into? this evil tranfers it's self through our hates and anger - we need to find a way to love our enemies and let love transfer as easy as evil

[n0s1r]

@Judy101101 I haven't been alive all that long but I've always noticed it's the ancestors of the aggressors that want to just "forget the past" and "let it go".

Another thing I have always noticed is they never seem to realize the reason they say that is they think (just like their ancestors did) that they have the right to decide which things are important enough to be remembered and which should be forgotten and let go of.

Now you get to tell others what love is too?

[Judy101101]

@n0s1r of course the aggressors want to forget the wars they start, not sure what your point is with the rest of your statements - makes no sense

[n0s1r]

@Judy101101 another trait of the ancestors of the aggressors.

It's never that you simply failed to understand something. If you don't understand something it simply doesn't make sense.

It's there for you to read. Maybe when you are ready to be honest with yourself you will understand it.

[Judy101101]

@n0s1r respond back when you are more honest with yourself

[n0s1r]

@Judy101101 responding back.

very nice video

thanks for share

[FulinYu]

I like the way Trudell shines an unflinching, honest light on the ugliness. He serves as a great example that spirit can be kept alive even in this messed up world.

[stennett84]

Some one please get this man an HBO CNN FoxNewz speacial. This tells you what kind of world we live in. Look at how many hit this guy has. If he was fighting someone he'd have a million hits. SAd VERy!! Don't stop talking(peace)

[lenasvn]

They didn't want to be white, and they were not allowed to be who they are, so they became nothing to survive. I like that, good way to put it. 

[bingo4borscht]

wait, i'm confused! is he saying that drunken indians, as in native americans who drink alcohol, have "protected their identity" by being intoxicated? please enlighten me! <3 and also, what does he mean, "they made it possible for us activists later"?

[Puercobellies]

@bingo4borscht

I thought it was clear, he states that the drunken Indians saved us from cultural extinction by refusing to assimilate, rejecting the path chosen for us by our conquerors.  By refusing to become "white" we remained separate, and that formed the seeds of our rebirth.

[n0s1r]

@bingo4borscht Ok, basically, what he speaking on the point in history during the murderous rape of the "New World" where the white man's policy towards everything non-white was essentially... Destroy it. Didn't matter how it was destroyed, whether it be through religion alcohol or bullets.

The thing is the alcohol didn't actually destroy the heritages of the various peoples, it just SEEMED like it did. So in a way the white man blinded himself with the whole "Drunken Indian" stereotype.

[TheGerth66]

When I hear this man speak I suddenly do not feel so alone

[OceansFreedom]

..."I will not become you.." well spoken...

[77kody]

as a indian man what he say's about the drunkin indian is true

[MrBrindleStyle]

"I can't be who I am, and I'm not going to be who you tell me to be. So I'll just be nothing. I'll be something else.

I'll erase the pain and I'll just do what I have to to to get through but I won't become you" - John Trudell

[MrBrindleStyle]

Thank goodness someone has put it in words

[Ellektrikaa]

This is an incredible truth.

I have seen this mentality and it breaks my heart.

I think in the living world you have to be part of the living. Even the greatest Native leaders knew that, adapt and survive.

The Cherokee are a model of this and many of the tribes of the South, they adapted and formed colonies utilizing the best of western culture and the best of native culture.

They found the solution and became very prosperous.

[7863547]

@Ellektrikaa The Cherokee sacrificed themselves to provide a lesson of what happens when one abandons their original instructions. There are exceptions, but those that are now materially wealthy, 'prosperous' as you say, have paid with the essence of their own being, their own spirituality. Those with a wasichu mentality celebrate their conversion, their assimilation. Real Indians morn their loss and take heed to protect themselves from falling onto that path.

[Ellektrikaa]

The "dead / disconnection" idea is interesting. What are we left with without our primal racial connection? Are we fully integrated without that?

We can be connected to each other. It is a daily choice each of us chooses. Maybe not as ancestry but as fellow Americans regardless of race.

This poet has a way with words but he is too hard on technology, for obvious reasons,.

[Hroark7]

@Ellektrikaa

I really suggest you go and read "The Impact of Science on Society" by Bertrand Russel.

[Ellektrikaa]

I get where you are coming from. But I don't buy into any type of extremism. I saw my dentist today and praised technology for allowing me to have great teeth for another 30 years.

My doctors saved my life last year and I could go on about other evils of progress that the world's billions (living in a state of nature) are clamoring for.

[Hroark7]

@Ellektrikaa

look I am not going to get into any further responses with you......as you should know by now,America was taken over a long time ago and it is already a police State and the Elites are ready for the 100% uprising .

I suggest you go listen to Jim Sinclair mineset & his latest two interviews with Kingnews(& check his background ,credentials history and Track record).

You are wrong ,& is you cannot see that now ,then you are lost...

Good luck & I wish you the best...

[mauricemorning]

@Ellektrikaa

What do you mean "too hard on technology"? He has recognized that technology has become the master instead of the servant--the god instead of the tool. But it is not a tool that connects us to the earth or ourselves.

[Ellektrikaa]

We tend to idealize ourselves, another all too human quality.

Native peoples have the most unique cultures in the world and should continue to preserve their wisdom and traditions for future generations

We, Poles, do not hold it against Germany's children the sins of their grandparents. That's a vicious cycle.

[itsanewcar123]

@Ellektrikaa then you don't understand Native culture...Population poland - 2009 estimate 38,130,302

[Ellektrikaa]

I probably dont understand native culture.

I have read more than most in American Indian Studies programs.

I realize how different it is and how genocide works. Still we have to live for today.

[Ellektrikaa]

Every race has suffered under other races. That is our human condition, largely due to our "relationship to being" to each group's ancestral connection. From this spawns the "other" and all divisions.

It is race identity that divides races. America is still the world's greatest hope for equity and freedom. If you don't believe me try moving to the Middle East, Africa, Asia, or Europe where race, gender, class and religion polarize everything.

[MrEddievanhalo]

White america has never been free, but when the Native Americans were the dominant culture IT WAS FREE...I will give you examples, before whites came their was no such thing as a GOV, Corporations, Banks, Prisons, Crime, their was no such thing as a class system that lived well at the expense of others.  I had to write this because it cracks me up when people in america now believe that they are free...Btw, I'm White.

[mauricemorning]

What a profound insight. I love this man. It's like black slaves who wore the same kind of mask to survive.Ossie Davis talks about that somewhere. It amazes and humbles me that this person, who has every right to enraged to the point of fanaticism is the most lucid voice in America for peace and a warrior for truth. Millions love you John and I know you love us back.

[USHENO]

ENLITENING PERSPECTIVE

[DeathShamans]

Grandfather lets all these 7 billion souls on the planet. His time is ending. When Grandmother rules, none of these spirits get in but humans have fell asleep and do not remember, even the indigenous. The shift is the old leaving and the new coming in.

[aaronamccoy]

i was a drunken indian

[wheetypeedy]

so true

[thundersteve1566]

Don't ever loose your Spirit!!!

[qualqui]

Words of wisdom for us all,......*****

[frannbro]

Wish my sister could have seen this..so sad.

[bonesmuggle99]

we very well do rememer our ways my friend. We adpated and overcame, we are defying it to the bitter end. They are numb and do not remember their ways do not waste your voice on them.

[WyteDove]

Respect ~Thank you for sharing this my friend~PcE~

[davewoodring]

Indians knew how to take care of the earth, family, animals. We need Indian for President.

[FulinYu]

@davewoodring Right on, we need a Native President.

[foxwilliammulderx]

@davewoodring That does not make any sence. Anybody in Indian Country knows that tribal pliticians are saps, like white ones. Indians dont belong in poitics, f they are, they are not Indians; they are apples. As any decent person would never be president, any decent Indian would never be either. Do you think Obama is cool? Trust me, he's not.

[injundrunk]

@davewoodring Write to Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell. Tell him to run!!!!!  I have.

[kingxciter]

@davewoodring they sure did. don't forget other native people in other areas of the world either that has gone under due to the dominant culture comming and creating havoc among them. destroying the natural world they need to live (which we all need but civilized humans fail to realise this)

[howdidienduphere]

Thank the spirits that we aren't ALL spiritually disconnected. Some of us still honor the land, honor the Great Mother, honor the creatures we share this earth with, and honor each other.

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

The issue's that you discuss are very real and transgenerational. These issues have affected and still effecting the first peoples of the world. We walk the same path my brothers and sisters our spirits are one with mother earth in Bondaged by the white modern man!

[AdawehiMeliLayton]

This video is more important to Natives and others that need to guard thier spirit.

Have faith and remember the original dream. Be STRONG, find that srenght within yourself!

[dogpatchgirl]

this make me cry

[nobster3]

The truth hurts.

[nobster3]

well only 40 more years to eat away at the oil reserves. Probably a big war, lots of death - but don't worry, lots of spiritual connection to the earth afterwards ! Oh -yeah and sorry no God/s

[CarlosMacMartin]

While there is "spirit" in and around us,it's buried

by many distractions.This goes on day in and day

out.People as individuals need to really stop and

relax (daily) and have time for reflection.Time to

think and meditate about the things that are going

on this planet.

[God4Dunoon]

This is too close to the bone ... my father had his language beaten out of him ashamed he gave did not give it to us... unfortunately as a Gael they only want the music and not the depth. the rest of our warriors are strung out or drunk or worse.. refuse a small parcel of land for food by being in 'power'

[Ellektrikaa]

It has been very recent that NA culture has been treated with respect. it's in your father's memory ..that's amazing to me.

[God4Dunoon]

my father is still here, and the other day he was still telling me about the times they used to beat him at school when he spoke Gaelic, this was in the 30's and 40's in the UK. What is not well understood internationally, is that for a couple of hundred years they were kept on marginal land and had to fight hard for the little they could get... The last true self sufficient community was evacuated in 1930.. google St Kilda Final years.

[crazycoyotie]

tell Russel 2 quit fearing me im chief Danny little bears grand son im here 2 help !!!!!!!!!!!!

[acerb45666555]

im back! ....i say it everywhere, so i say it here too: Explore Folk-Metal as a medium for preserving the various original cultures on this here Turtle Island! Celts do it! ..a sample vid: "Eluveitie-Inis Mona".......ps: the Island of Mona is our Black Hills!!

[ElyanSun]

I believe that When Humans pass away they become some Bigs Fats Pigs instead Angels...Deal with it/ May-BE that's why some religious geeks don't eat Pork ... LOL

[dayquay7]

These words are true- we are in the place where were souls get eaten-- modern civilization eats away and demands more. John Trudell doesnt spark hatred -- for me his words spark self respect for who I am as an native american. Truth stand tall and firm like a tree.

[cadzan07]

reply to: HeidiIvy ~ I know what you mean. Try this; after video starts to play, press PAUSE. Then wait until the faint red line goes all the way to the right. This indicates the video has been downloaded. Now press PLAY and see what happens! ~ Hope this helps, Victoria

[mothersworldmedia]

thanks for your attention to this and for taking the time to watch this material in the first place.

[HeidiIvy]

Thanks for the tip as well! Soul eating- yes, it is sooo odd and sad how messed up things are--- soul-less- "No spiritual relationship to life" J.T.----- this post is really wonderful and insightful! Thanks for doing this!!! So many people need to see this!

[HeidiIvy]

hey Victoria! Thanks, it worked! I just needed the lesson of "patience" for that we' lil red line to grow. Thanks for the helping hand!-Heidi

[HeidiIvy]

Is it possible to re-post this? I have tried to play it for 3 days now and it seems to not play without stopping OFTEN---as if it got corrupted? He has great stuff to say, and this should be heard!!!! Especially these days-- I am just hoping someone threatened by his message did not screw this up???

[acerb45666555]

could he be the next Ghandi?? we can always hope!!

[mothersworldmedia]

acerb45666555-

thanks for your comment and attention to this material. for what it's worth, i don't think this mess gets worked out without each and all of us assuming our true ghandi/mandella/trudell stature. a daunting prospect... but what a world we'd have!!! There have been many to show us the way (check out my heroine Harriet Tubman!} but without the unique contribution of each, the circle cannot be complete (imo).

[hollyzone]

@acerb45666555

Good point. Gandhi and John Trudell. That would be a conversation I'd listen to!

[acerb45666555]

hes stubbourn!! Cool!! :D

[klaasrusschen]

Love this man, his vision so clear, walking the way with heart. Thanks John, you are a wonderful spirit.

[AdawehiMeliLayton]

He is one of those people I have always wanted to meet! The drunken Indian part is especially true FOR me in his explination because I am gunna be the way the Creator made me , Native American!!

[sacredthornapple]

I just met him yesterday and he is truly a wonderfull man! We were all native once and he is a man who helps us white folk to remember our own ancestors and past. He reminds us that we should be united against civilization and its soul-eating ways.

[AdawehiMeliLayton]

That is sooo awsome! I am glad that you got the oportuniy. Thanks for letting me know that!

[mothersworldmedia]

absolutely right... unite against civilization and its soul-eating ways.

[EmeraldTriangleNews]

Beware of the Bush family and their New World Order!

[pookypoo77]

yes spirits do get eaten

[desire4liberation]

i love you john :))

[desire4liberation]

it's the spirit that we have.. that we must honor... and share

and if yall haven't noticed.... you can't see more cobwebs in the sky......

[vicsflick]

The middle class is almost dead. I met John Trudell in LA. What happened to us?

[Goldymere]

The middle class grows, the people working the hardest, caught in the middle, the ones who go to war for the country. The Government wears a mask and changes it's mask to keep people confused and busy so they can't see the truth. The political leaders are stupid or really coniving. Either way they disrespect people, unless they have money and material fanciness, and drive a hummer.

[Goldymere]

In Indiana they passed "something" so that those without Health Ins.could have some, and oh how great it will be, and all the smiling pictures the happy political people doing a "good" thing. Called the HIP program, ended up being for the really poor. Alot of hard working middle class don't get help. Employers not giving families health Insurance. I figured it out. It was done to keep down disease. The rich don't want rampant disease floating around. The white gov. screws it's own good people.

[apacheprincess]

Does anyone know the name of the JT song that is played at the end of the video??

[mothersworldmedia]

It's "BEAUTY IN A FADE/49 WAIT FOR ME" from the album "BUT THIS ISN'T EL SALVADOR"

[trails46]

The Indian really did get everything he asked for, the gov't. does provide.

Back to the education of Jayne:

Inside the Bureau of Indian Affairs

an Expose' of Corruption, Massive Fraud and Justice Denied

Google it...tube doesn't like links

What's it going to take to educate?

There is literally no excuse for wanton ignorance these days.

[showmanitotankaowasi]

wast'e trails

[trails46]

Oh and Jayne it's about (your) education.

The spirit of the diseased, they have no relationship to being.

Protect your spirit.

[trails46]

Modern day Indians just decided to hate white man and began to destroy himself because of hatred.

Jayne you demonstrate your ignorance and lack of education very well.

Jayne a gift for you, please get this book. Google it yourself.

Underground History of American Education, by John Taylor Gatto. A School Teacher's Intimate Investigation into the problem of Modern Schooling

"Protect your spirit...because you are in the place where spirits get eaten."

~John Trudell~

[jayne56011]

Everyone is wrenched away from their true source, the inner light, God's spirit within. We have to make our lives within this context, all of us. why did the Indians expect to have life as their ancestors had it when their ancestors probably adapted to change as it came. Modern day Indians just decided to hate white man and began to destroy himself because of hatred. There is a way to make a life within this framework.The Indian really did get everything he asked for, the gov't. does provide.

[showmanitotankaowasi]

please explain this more because I disagree. how can you ask the red man to adapt to a time of destruction and blatant disrespect for the earth. especially from such an earth based people. The people (though I cant speak for everyone) cannot connect to technological things. Or anything unnatural.

[akaarmyvet]

idiot

[showmanitotankaowasi]

who is an idiot

[mikwid]

Wow.This man is so profound. He is absolutely right.From the time we are born, man is being further and further separated from any ancestors and source. Culturally, socially and spiritually. It is up to the individual now to recognize this fact and regain some connection. This is the feeling of cognitive dissonance most feel in this manic, unthinking society in which we live. This is the force of natures cycles that will return us back to a state of connection whether we embrace it or not.

[gatitoesucaroso]

I feel that John is either the reincarnation of Black Elk or a continiuation of his message. What he speaks is beauty and truth. Long live John Trudell and his message.

[tglola]

Thats what i'm talkin bout!

[wintersorrow72]

Wow, makes a person think! I sure hope I still have MY spirit! Sometimes it doesn't seem to be there!!!:(

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

you are a wise man JT.we need to go back to our beginnings. Our past is our future. we must reclaim our spirit.

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

The issue's that you discuss are very real and transgenerational. These issues have affected and still effecting the first peoples of the world. We walk the same path my brothers and sisters our spirits are one with mother earth in Bondaged by the white modern man!

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

this is the same for all indigenous peoples of this planet!

[DebbieVicari]

spiritually disconnected.. very interesting

[anippygirl]

This is awesome and well said! Thanks acerb for share!5* for you mothersworldmedia!

[acerb45666555]

Alternative leadership to what were stuck with now. its not only natives listening to JT!

[Heartkissing7]

Thank you for the share,superb Video!!I agree with JT!What we need is to go back to our own Roots,back to the Nature and back to our own Hearts!The Believe of the Jew and their God is not our Believe and The war the fight is not our War..it's only theirs!I believe in the way in Jesus too, but only because he was Connected to Mother Earth..His believe was the Believe of The God "Nature" and this also is MY Believe!In this way i alos can connect spirituell to other Humans with my Soul.Peace T.

[ElisaHut]

Thanks Acerb! You know I'm concerned with these facts, and J Trudell is a great leader.

[cherrialbum]

This is very powerful!!! WOW!!

Thank you!!

Also thanks to accer for passing this on to me!!

5*****

[wyldfyre128]

we all should understand, John Trudell's words..he can speak. He has lived thru more than you or I have lived and experienced.

He is our link to our spiritual ancestry, and to our future. He can speak. so why we so quiet..afraid? we are "beings", pull forth your spirit, show them who we are, don't ever forget who we are, stand strong, one voice speaks, many can make a change. peelahmiyah yee

[CANYONMOON]

"The reality of the spiritually disconnected".... WOW. JT is one of the most charismatic and intelligent people I have ever had the privilege to meet. His words resonate with power.

[internity2]

the powers that be -- hmmm true -- how about-ideas of control that be--

JT speaks of our spirit and learning to listen-connect with our ancestors again, reawaken

[walkingbear56]

I remember in the film Thunderheart, Maggie Eagle Bear speaking to Agent Levoi, when he holds up a piece of paper and says it is power to convict the true murderer of Leo Fast Elk. She replies "thats not power Ray, thats paper. Power is a rainstorm, power is that river right there". We need to honour our connection with Mother Earth. Choose to live with Earth. FBI said John Trudell is dangerous because he is intelligent. Power to you John!

[EricCortez11]

Perhaps, but the powers that be would never let someone like JT hold of position such as presidency. It's cool, you don't have to follow JT. I follow my own spirit, however I agree with what JT speaks of and have similar beliefs and thoughts. Just in another way. As long as we as native people achieve spirtual freedom and live the way truly intended by creator, no system or group of people could ever imprison our spirits. Thank you for your words and beliefs. Peace be with you...

[internity2]

these words are true.. more than words--he talks from his spirit to ours--

[moonsong5]

I'M WITH YOU ON THAT, Hell yeah - Trudell man you have to run for president...But wait, it's so messed up right now, I mean the whole administrative abuse and lies...I don't think he would want to be apart of that. Damn it I'm bummed out now...but anyway for real he could probably fix things. His awsome!

[EricCortez11]

Trudell For President!!! Who's wit me???

[bulitboy]

I'm with you.

[snakehead012]

so am I

[walkingbear56]

I'm with you too...but I have a feeling he'd say it was cultivating the same ol system. I think leaders are chosen by the people that will follow them. I will follow John as a leader.

[imagoodman2]

observe who u r, then u wont need to hide! others are here to remind ya, make ya trip or land a hand. words of wisdom , im a fan

[cajunhornet60]

Outstanding Videos.....

[zeezclub]

John is right on! The Drunken Indian is how we survived...the pain...we lived because of the drunk indian! If you have ever met and talked to a drunken indian...you know that they know the truth. Some of my favorite ppls are drunk....we don't have to be drunk anymore!!

[rocksandblood]

Trudell has a wonderful mind and one of our true philosphers...I love hearing what he has to say...

[denepride]

This is a GREAT message. Thank you, Masi Chok! I struggle sometimes with what I see in this world today with Greed and Addictions. I am strong, and usually good. By no means perfect. I appreciated what Trudell shared and the truth it holds. Sometimes I cannot figure out why. Great respect to you all who get this message. Share it.

[Psychedalien]

Second part:

There is also something about my ancestry. Something from the past is 'haunting' me!? I do not know what to do? Some people say regression therapy, but I do not know if that is okay. How do I know who to trust? And will I be able to handle it? I was born Juli 22nd 1962 at 00:25AM in Caracas Venezuela. I feel there is something about my birth date.

PS if you're interested in my drunk video search: psychedalien tipsy drunk

[walkingbear56]

Look inside , calmly, you may not need regression therapy, take some time out of things and go on a quest if you feel ready to do that.

The best person to trust is your inner self. Quiet and listen.

Best of luck

[walkingbear56]

that was a message for Psychedalien ( YT seems to be screwing around with messages today!

[Psychedalien]

Thank you for the advise:)

[Psychedalien]

Thanks for this video. I am not an Indian, but I feel my spirit is also being eaten. I do not know how to defend myself!!! I am scared!!!

A few days ago I got drunk, I felt inside I needed it, just to say what I feel and in a way it was also maybe a protection?? I do not know. The day after drinking and today I felt more scared!!! So I won't be drinking anymore.

But what can I do to protect myself from evil. I feel evil is playing with me. I only do not know who or where evil is.

[ciampadechen]

John Trudell truth person thank you

[sk9utube]

Damn heart shocking. You can hear him breaking tears behind his shades. Alcoholism is pretty damn sad. There's no better reason to stay away from it more than the disgrace it's brought to Indigineous spirituality -- but I do see the temptation for what it is quite clearly the way John Trudell says it here. Taking children to concentration camps and abuse is some cold hearted traumatic shit.

This sage is correct. No spiritual relationship. It's all about the material world.

This is what a good doctor does , identify

the sickness and its cause and prevent more sickness.John and others have spoken out for many yrs.,how could it go this far to the edge

of the cliff? It is well explained right here,

how it happened and how it now continues.For yrs. people have ridiculed and still they wont

believe this time we are in and what we see happening on the Earth.The Spirit of Peace and Love, this All we have left to save us.

All People together for All Life. thanks

Very good video, but sad. John Trudell is a leader, a man with wisdom, a poet. Thanks WalkingBear for sharing this video.

As far as I am concerned you speak for all cultures. You are blessed with a gift to connect the physical world with that of the spiritual. You are loved by so many.

Such a beautiful soul.

What is the cause of this place where spirits get eaten? The ego of the human being that has grown from the original colonial thought. That which also caused the drunken indian. So, wake up today. Walk away from alcohol and drugs. Embrace your relatives. They are alive and well. Find strength in their embrace. Wind, Thunder, Lightning, Rain. Talk with the plant people and the animals every day. Live to change the world and restore balance.

Well said john It was so sad that traditionalists were looked down on by their own people who adopted the typical materialistic

mindset that prevails in this country

But when the American Indian Movement

Showed up with long hair and some even dressed in buckskin saying things like proud to be indian and tribal sovereignty all of a sudden

EVERYBODY was proud to be Indian

A.I.M. was like a spiritual REAWAKENING

MAY A.I.M LIVE FOREVER HOKA HEY

[oakfox1981]

wow

[z8it]

Our Fathers and Mothers Indian, Hawaiian, Black, Irish,whatever that bore their oppression and survived, gave the Human spirit LIFE and a place to BE in a time of illusion and insanity.

They should rightly be honored for bearing their burdon

Any way that they could.

God; bless John Trudell.
